  That’s a great question and I’m not sure I have a definitive answer. For lack of better description, it would be the vibe I got from them:

  • Do I feel like they’re being deliberately argumentative.
  • Do I feel like they’re trying to twist my words in an unkind way.
  • Are they looking for ways to find offence in what I’ve said.

  How do you determine what’s not in good faith?

  I personally always assume good faith. I can’t read people’s minds. On the Internet, I can’t even see facial expressions or hear how they’re saying it. It’s like that Key and Peele text message sketch.
